We are excited to share that we will be taking a group of students (ages 8-18) to perform a 15-minute cut of Children of Eden Jr. at Junior Theatre Festival (JTF) in Atlanta, GA this coming January!

JTF is an incredibly meaningful experience where students have the opportunity to perform, take workshops from theatre professionals, and find community. We will perform a 15-minute cut from Children of Eden Jr. but JTF is a separate program from the Children of Eden production itself.

We would be overjoyed to have you join us at our JTF Interest Meeting this coming Tuesday, Ausgut 18th @ 7PM. For those of you who are interested but cannot join us in person, we will have a livestream option available. At this meeting we will go over everything you need to know for JTF, and we sincerely hope you consider registering for both Children of Eden, Jr and JTF! If you register for both before September 1st, you get a $150 discount off your Children of Eden tuition!
